Keep II Before the People.
S2.11.

Il hope you will continue to agitate
this separation business until every tax
payer in our city win become disguised
with himself and everybody else-and
everybody become so indignant that we
viii have big, rousing. indignation
meeting before long aud demand our
rights In this matter, said an excited
tax payer this morning to the CAPITAL
man.
We are glad you think that way, we
replied; we thought, perhaps, we were
putting II little too strong for some OF
our conservative taxpayers
Not bit of It, sir. II / had my way |
would paint Ii In figures bolder than you
print, on the door OF every house in town
This house is taxed S2.11 on the
500. SO that every man, woman and
child that visited our town would tell 1t
TO the world"
Why some persons have said we are
inJuring the town by publishing TO the
world what the property of Annapolis is
assessed at, and that 1t will drive capital
lists away from our city; that no one
would come here and invest their money
II we continued TO publish such facts as
these.
Then the sooner our people realize
this fact the better it will be for our city
That Is just what we have been doing for
years-driying people that would come
here-and want 10 come here--away by
this double tax on real estate. There is no
city in the country with all the advan-
tages that Annapolis possesses, that has
made so little progress In population and
business Her merchants and business
men, like the community, are getting
fp
rapid increase In population; no manu-
factories to employ her idle population;
her young men are driven from their
homes to seek employment elsewhere and
to build up other communities. Oar only
resources are the fish and oysters in their
season, and the employees of the Naval
Academy and the few of the State Depart
ments. Apart from these we are barren
OF subsistence No, sir, you are doing a
good work, and we hope you will continue
to agitate the matter, until some action Is
taken. 1t has got to come-and that
soon"
We informed our friend that we were
as much interested In the welfare of our
city as any other taxpayer, and would not
Tor moment throw straw in the way of
its progress. For we know the growth of
Annapolis means the prosperity Of every
business man in the community, and
what motive could we have in preventing
its progress. We shall not hesitate to
point out grievous wrongs in this or any
other matter that comes to our knowledge
in which we know the whole people are
interested. The poorest and humblest
citizen, as well as those in more comfort
able circumstances, will always find an ad
yocate in the CAPITAL to right their
grievances and wTongs-without fear or
favor.

MURDER WILL OUT.
Jim Scarlet Arrested for a Killing il
1855.

Jim Scarlet Arrested for a Killing in
1855.
special to the Gazette.
BoNHAM, TEX, Jan. ia man named
Jim Scarlet has Just been arrested and
lodged in Jail, charged with a murder
committed in 1855, in the northeastern
part of this county. The murdered man
was namet Lonthtield, and was killed on
whisky boat at the mouth of Blue.
Scarlet had an accomplice in
his crime named Mcconnell, who
was captured at the time and placed
in jail at this place, and shortly after his
incarceration took sick and died. Shortly
before his death he made a partial con-
fession of the crime, duplicating Scarlet.
Mcconnell and Scarlet, at the time OF
the murder, were running whisky boat,
and had been gambling with Lonthfeld
and had won his money. He threatened
to indict them for selling whisky unlaw-
fully, and this was the cause of the
murder.
